We are paid five days a year to volunteer

August 28, 2019

“We work for an Thrivent, an insurance and financial services company that encourages people to live wise with money and live generously. We live in a commercialistic world and want to help people give back. We help people set financial goals and meet them.”

“They give us volunteer time off. We are paid five days a year to volunteer. They are a partner with Habitat for Humanity and I have been to Madagascar and Africa to build homes. They match the gifts and donations that we give.”

“Working there has helped me through hard times. My husband had a heart attack and there were four kids I was adopting. My mother passed away and my dad was here so we moved to Mobile. I couldn’t have kids of my own, so we adopted foster kids. They are older now and some are out of the house. The 19-year-old is Autistic and working at Brookley Field learning how to repair airplanes. God’s grace has helped us get through.”
